[DeTomaso] Undercoating removal?

[Will Kooiman]

Zen-like quality of the body work?  I saw lots of spot welds hidden by the
undercoating - not to mention prior body damage hidden by rubberized roofing
tar.

I went the body filler route.  It's no different than what the factory did -
only better.  Besides, a smooth surface cleans easier than a rough surface.

Paul - I want to meet your wife.  If her idea of fun is waxing her legs with
melted undercoating, she has to be fun to hang out with.  Not only does she
wax her legs, she also likes pain and smells like petroleum.

There is a certain Zen-like quality to this work as the beautiful and  
functional metal work and welding emerges. And to  mix metaphors a bit, it's
a 
badge of honor to have done it! 
 
On another note, why Pantera people feel the need to bondo over the  
uncovered imperfections in the engine compartment has always been an
indication 
to me of the love hate relationship we have with our cars. In  many sought 
after collector cars, those imperfections are exalted, and are  carefully 
preserved. For some reason, we seem to be embarrassed by them. I say,  let
the 
innate beauty shine through!
